Respuesta :

Answer:  C. stratified

Explanation:

Stratified sampling involves breaking a population of people into separate groups, where there isn't any overlap.

An example would be having a high school with freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors. A person can only belong to one group (so we can't have someone whos a freshman and a sophomore at the same time for instance). In that example, each group or strata is a different grade level.

As for this particular problem, each strata is a different ethnicity, and there are 6 strata total.
